For those of you who ordered my Animal Reflections Healing Oracle deck during the launch period, I’m happy to let you know they are on their way to you – way ahead of schedule! Woo hoo! So most of you should have them no later than Tuesday of next week. And I’ll now have them in stock also!

And now onto this lovely poem I recently heard that I wanted to share with you…

Remember by Joy Harjo

Remember the sky that you were born under,
know each of the star’s stories.
Remember the moon, know who she is.
Remember the sun’s birth at dawn, that is the
strongest point of time. Remember sundown
and the giving away to night.
Remember your birth, how your mother struggled
to give you form and breath. You are evidence of
her life, and her mother’s, and hers.
Remember your father. He is your life, also.
Remember the earth whose skin you are:
red earth, black earth, yellow earth, white earth
brown earth, we are earth.
Remember the plants, trees, animal life who all have their
tribes, their families, their histories, too. Talk to them,
listen to them. They are alive poems.
Remember the wind. Remember her voice. She knows the
origin of this universe.
Remember you are all people and all people
are you.
Remember you are this universe and this
universe is you.
Remember all is in motion, is growing, is you.
Remember language comes from this.
Remember the dance language is, that life is.
Remember.

It’s More Than Just a Door to the Garden…

Posted by Barbara Techel
Our three year raised bed garden plan and project came to completion over the weekend with the final addition of the door!

Three years in the making.

One raised garden bed, then two.

Last fall a third.

The anticipation during the cold winter months grew.

For the final phase of the project

still just a dream in our imagination.

And then after all that waiting,

Just like that,

The door was added

And it was complete!

And now I sit

in complete admiration

Starring at this sweet door

made by the skilled and well-worn hands

Of my dear husband.

It’s more than just a door to the garden

It’s an opening to another portal

That came together via a labor of love

And a passion for creativity and nature

and an adventure of gardening

that will provide new lessons from Mother Nature

and help us grow and learn more about ourselves too.

  • 2.75 x 4.75 inches
  • Guidebook – signed by me!

  • Created from my heart with wisdom gained through deep, personal inner work. While my inner work has been and continues to be ongoing for 25+ years, it was in the last eight years that the seed was planted and began to make its way toward the light as I opened myself to trust. I was then eventually led to the process of “how” I would create this deck in my own unique way. The actual intuitive process of finding just the right images that spoke to ancient times and the reverence of respect for what animals offer us as wisdom and reflections to help guide us in our daily lives that many have lost touch with. Plus combining these images with paper, stencils, paint, pastel chalks, and pencils, to then creating individual collages on small wooden templates became a two-year labor of love.

LOVELY PRAISE FOR THE DECK

Animal guides can be powerful agents of healing, helping us to sense our blocks, blind-spots, and barriers. In her lovely oracle cards, Barb Techel shows how 52 animal teachers can hold space for us, allowing us to perceive, acknowledge and release repressed pain, fear, grief and other limiting thoughts or emotions, thus allowing us to venture deeper into a more joyous relationship with ourselves. 

The accompanying guide book offers ideas on how to use oracle cards, as well as suggestions from the animals featured in the cards. These vary from ones we know — Bear, Elephant, Lion and Zebra, to ones whose teachings we may be less familiar with — Capybara, Hedgehog, Iguana and Nuthatch. The artwork is gentle and welcoming, inviting us to soften and contemplate in compassionate ways with the animals and with ourselves. 

-Dawn Baumann Brunke, Author & Animal Communicator

I did a personal reading with Barb’s beautiful deck today. It was so insightful, and unexpected. Those animals and their interpretations are just messengers in such a heartfelt and deeply compassionate way. I appreciate her deck so much, and I’m excited to use it more!

-Elizabeth Lee, Creator of The Inner Moon Light Oracle

Barbara Techel is a wonderful, heart-centered human, and you can feel her loving energy throughout every card in this deck and guidebook. Each time I’ve pulled a card, it has been exactly the animal and guidance my soul needed to pivot into a higher frequency.

These beautiful oracle cards are primed and ready to expedite your healing, and are certain to get you back in your heart to reach a new level of awareness. They are an exemplary tool to be utilized time and time again to embrace and reveal the best version of ourselves.

-Tammy Billups, International Healing Practitioner for Animals & Their People, Award Winning Author of: Soul Healing with Our Animal Companions, Animal Soul Contracts, and Animal Wayshowers
